Homes and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole, alongside post-war houses, newer complexes and Galeshewe township. Heritage houses often have corrugated iron roofs, pressed-metal ceilings, timber sash windows and thick walls that need careful repair. The Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, cold dry winters with frost, and occasional violent thunderstorms. Dry, shifting soils crack walls, and old roofs leak at flashings. Typical jobs include repainting, ceiling repairs, roof repairs, window and door restoration, plumbing and security upgrades. Owners should check heritage rules for older buildings. Local merchants stock paint, roofing and general building materials.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: light bags of cement, filler and boards that can be carried up to a flat
